This is a Korean Mil-Spec AR-15 Stainless Steel Maritime 30rd. Magazine. This magazine looks, feels and functions just like the HK Maritime Mag. If you had them side by side it would be hard to tell them apart. This is a fabulous and high quality mag for the price. It has all the features of the HK Maritime mag at a fraction of the cost.

I purchased one with some ammo recently and they both came in the mail the other day. The Korean Magazine is very similar to the H&K mags I've looked at (but never bought because of the very high price).

I haven't been to the range with it yet, but it cycles the snap-caps very well. It is a very heavy magazine compared to the USGI or Magpul PMAGs. Seems to have an excellent construction, though I'm sure it would fall to the same fate the H&K mags did in the Magpul truck tests. But on the plus side, it is only $13 which is way cheaper than the H&K mags.

Anyone else have any of the Korean mags? Has anyone had any issues with them?

Anyone with an H&K mag get one of the Korean mags to compare?


If the one I got works well and no one has any performance or quality complaints, I may get a few more for the heck of it...kind of diversify my mags between PMAGs, USGI, and Stainless Steel.

I'd welcome another decent/high quality AR mag. The more the merrier. I think we might see sub $10 mags here eventually.

Where have you been? Since the AWB died, I haven't paid more than $12 for a magazine, with the exception of a few Pmags.

A lot of mine (D&H, NHMTG) were less than 10 bucks. 44mag has D&H mags on sale now for 9 bucks each.

Years ago I spent $12-14 each on these, stainless steel mini-14 mags, now I hear they are very expensive, and hard to find.

I like my P-Mags, but otherwise, steel is the way to go. With the thin walls on AR mags, the added strength is aprreciable, and the added weight is negligable.

I am thinking new production quality polymer mags. Lancer, Pmags, etc. They're normally what? $15 or so (maybe $13 if you look hard).

The most I've ever paid for an AR mag is $15 and that was yesterday at the gunshow for a 20 rnd PMAG. I can order them from Brownells for <$13, but wanted to try one out first. Previously, the most I'd ever paid was $0. They seem to be easy to get around Army bases.

Dealer price on Brownells* is $12.97 for 30 rounds, as low as $12.26 for 20 rounders.
